David Buckley and the story of Sparc

The difference with Sparc Systems compared with other manufacturers is that we listen to what the customer wants and deliver that to them.

I have spent most of my career in protein and bakery, and I believe here at Sparc Systems, we are pushing the boundaries in these sectors. Not only do we make bespoke and full integrated systems offering all food safety in one “box” for better auditing, pretty unique in this industry, but we also give manufacturing butchers and bakers peace of mind that food safety and hygiene are paramount – allowing them to get on with what they do best.

1974

Company was founded under its original name of Packaging Control Systems in Malvern. Our original intention was to develop electronic systems and services for manufacturers and end-users in the food industry.

1976

We became incorporated as Packaging Control Systems Ltd. and began designing and building electronic control systems for four machinery manufacturers.

1984

After winning multiple accounts over the years, in 1984 we created a bespoke system based on our microprocessor racking system, which we had named SPARC. With Tetley warming to the term, we subsequently changed our company name to comply.
